Instructions
Creating Bloody Mary Shrimp Shooters can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Shrimp: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Drain and immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Chill for 5-10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Bloody Mary Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, celery salt, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Assemble the Shooters: In each shooter glass, layer the chilled shrimp with the Bloody Mary mix. Add one or two shrimp to each glass, then fill the rest with the Bloody Mary mix.
4. Garnish: Top each shooter with a fresh lemon wedge, celery stick, and a sprig of parsley or dill for an elegant presentation.
5. Chill Again (Optional): If you have time, chill the assembled shooters in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
6. Serve: Once prepared and chilled, your Bloody Mary Shrimp Shooters are ready to enjoy!
